Weed addiction

[Goodbook]

What is your pain. Have you asked the Lord to heal?
The problem with marijuana is people DO use it to get high and this is the OPs issue with her friend. Also people will say they use it for medicinal purposes but actually lie about that. Like alcoholics will say alcohol is their medicine.

Pain relief is an altered state anyway. Not saying you ought to suffer, but thers dangers of relying on a drug to get you through, even if its marijuana and not a chemical one. Morphine is the same.

If people just used it as a herb thats fine, just as people use alcohol in cooking, with sauces etc but its people dont, and if they abusing it they will find a way.

Please,-----I've dealt with pain for over 26 years. God does not alleys choose to heal, just ask Paul and His thorn in the flesh. He did not heal me, he sent me the money to get the marijuana instead. This man has a problem that she can not fix, It goes beyond marijuana. She needs to get out for he is manipulating and controlling her and it will get worse. He is maneuvering her into a trap with no way out. She already thinks that, it isn't true, and unless she finds a way out, and takes it, she'll be trapped and in 10 years she'll be a beaten up mess of a barely surviving human soul.
You should not make judgments about what people should and should not do for pain. It is their pain and they know what they can and can not tolerate. My pain levels come from 3 sources, fibromyalgia, diabetic neuropathy, degenerative discs in lower back and neck. I've been to pain control clinics, there is nothing the can do short of heavy duty drugs--no thank you--my pain over rode methadone in 3 days--tramadol is the least potent but works the best for me--nothing else works for more than a few days. I've been on it for years now. Marijuana was a Godsend, I just can't afford it anymore.

As far as I know people dont smoke apples and apples dont put people in an altered state. Also, as far as I know, marijuana isnt eaten or made into a tea like regular herbs. It is a drug. Doesnt matter if its natural or not its still a drug.

As OP has stated, her friend is an addict, with the symptoms of someone who is addicted, so people that claim marijuana isnt addictive, clearly arent aware that it is or in denial.

Rehab is the best option.
Because your friend is around dealers etc he has to be away from that environment and learn to live without his fix. It is not by living with you that he will change, because dealers will come and harass him when you are not around. His cravings will get the better of him, now hes hooked and dependant. And you cannot monitor him 24/7. Let him answer to God, not you.

I never said it was not addictive if this comment is in reference to me. ANYTHING can be addictive. Shopping can be addictive. There is only so far "It's addictive" can go before we need to take personal responsibility.

Oh ok no need to get snarky.
I am not judging you, i am giving advice to OP and clearly its a problem. It doesnt matter that anyone else is using marijuana to dull pain or whatever. Thats compeltely irrelevant, and doesnt help the OP one bit.

Whats important is this person that she cares for gets help, preferably from rehab.
And that OP lets go of whatver is tying her to this person. Its not healthy. nothing is impossible for God, and yes, he can heal, and has healed.
Jesus went through unimaginable pain on the cross, and yet refused to drink a wine that would numb the pain.

I'm agree with John, smoking weed is a sin and I've also not seen any Christian smokes weed that much as you mentioned. Anyways this article has great information on stopping weed, and you can try the methods describes here to stop taking weed.

You didn't create the problem,
You can't control the problem,
You can't cure the problem.
He needs help..................for much more than weed. You must take care of you

 

[Paul808]

I have a hard time believing he is a Christian. I've never met a Christian who regularly smokes weed. Smoking weed is a sin. God doesn't want us to dull our senses. Plus he is living in a sinful un married relationship with you. He needs to repent.

Do you go to church?

I don't know of any Christian churches who would accept your behavior.

You are right. So far I did not see any Christian churches that allowed such kind of behavior
